Hackers Discuss Retaliatory Cyberstrikes
http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/170025.html

Although the U.S. government has yet to publicly identify suspects in 
Tuesday's terrorist attacks on America, some hackers are already plotting 
counterstrikes against Islamic Web sites, according to postings in Internet 
newsgroups.

So far, the impact of the planned retaliatory hacking has been limited.

The official Web site of the Presidential Palace of the Islamic State of 
Afghanistan was unreachable today, after its address was published in 
several Internet newsgroups.

"Let the Afghan government know what you think about them harboring Bin 
Laden," wrote one participant in talk.guns.politics.

Similarly, the homepage of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has been 
frequently inaccessible today, despite a statement at the site from 
president general Pervez Musharraf condemning the attacks. The site's 
address was posted Tuesday to an Internet newsgroup named 
alt.hackers.malicious in a message entitled "Pakistani government LOVES 
trojans."
